Book Description
The purpose of this study is to carefully evaluate the demographic, occupational, and health factors most associated with teacher absenteeism within the Texas public school system. Absenteeism is costly for organizations, especially those that depend on federal and state funding such as public schools. This study included 2,588 teachers from 46 public school districts in Texas who participated in an occupational health survey. Absenteeism was assessed as the physical absence from work. Individuals who self- reported that they were not present at work due to either personal reasons or due to illness were compared to individuals that had zero absences. The variables included in this study are individual demographics, basic teacher/classroom/school specific demographics, occupational indicators (organizational commitment, job involvement, job support, job control, climate and school problems), health factors (stress, physical and mental quality of life), and Axis I Psychopathology (Depression, Anxiety, Panic, Somatization). A multivariate negative binomial regression will be used to examine which variables are key predictors of teacher absenteeism within the Texas public school system. The results of this study will identify factors that contribute to overall absences of individuals in the work place, and may allow for recommendations of workplace changes that can be used to decrease absenteeism.

Book Description
This study explores the reasons for chronic teacher absenteeism, which is a growing concern in Michigan schools and districts because teacher absenteeism is expensive and has implications for student learning. In total, 21 elementary teachers from seven different Michigan school districts were interviewed about their experiences with and perceptions of teacher absenteeism. Using an interpretive lens from the management literature on employee absenteeism, this study finds chronically absent teachers used paid time off for job-related mental health more often than for personal reasons compared to non-chronically absent teachers. The contributors to job-related mental health include three elusive, intangible characteristics: job stress, low perceived organizational support, and job dissatisfaction. The sources of job stress, low perceived organizational support, and job dissatisfaction are negative student behaviors, large class sizes, accountability pressures, lack of building support, lack of administration support, increased workload, performing additional duties above and beyond teaching, and not having enough district financial support for classroom materials and resources. The findings suggest organizational factors, or challenges with school and district culture and climate, contribute to chronic teacher absenteeism and must be improved upon. Implications for research, policy, and practice are discussed, along with opportunities for future research on both chronic teacher absenteeism and the culture and climate of schools and districts.
